Love our VW Tiguan

Very nice small SUV that feels larger then it is. Very sporty SUV with great styling and average performance.

Loving this car!

My husband has a 2018 Audi SQ5, and I keep telling him that I don't understand why his car costs twice as much as mine! The Tiguan feels very luxurious and drives smoothly. It has many of the same features of the Audi. I'm glad that the back seat is very roomy, though it's at the expense of the third row which is really only suitable for small children. My one complaint is that due to the spare tire and the third row seating, the cargo space floor is set very high.

Great value, exceptional engineering.

Nice advancement from the 2015 Tiguan I owned. Roomier, more tech advancements, smoother ride. Better exterior, lots of safety feature upgrades.

A pleasant surprise

I drove so many in this category the lines started to blur. We have owned, VW's and the older body style of the Tiguan and just wanted something different, so we drove everything. The new Tiguan was different enough yet comforting like an old friend. The simplicity of a VW is refreshing. Not hunting for dials and guess work. The ease of driving this new Tiguan is pleasant. City MPG about 26 and highway 29-31 on Regular...awesome. 1500 miles no issues. Love it!

Versatile and roomy

I needed a car that was small enough to parallel park in the city on a daily basis and still carry 4 grandchildren plus lots of gear when needed. The rear seat is roomy enough for an adult and with the seat down, holds my camping and Girl Scouting gear. But, when I need to transport the 4 toddlers, I can put in the carseats and go.

Very nice vehicle

The Tiguan is sporty and had all the technology I wanted. The optional third row for a crossover is great. Volkswagen outdid themselves.

Fun roomy SUV

It's a fun with style and comfort. It has a quiet ride and room for 7 in a pinch. After having hatchbacks for years it was time to move up and I'm really glad I did
